Hey there everyone! My prompt for this week's short story came from Little Snake. They suggested that I write about why the leaves change....and not the scientific aspect behind it!I hope you enjoy! Don't forget, we're now on Pinterest, and we're accepting comments for reviews for the site!Have a nice day, y'all :)​-Little Lion

Autumn has some majorly obsessed fairies. Me, I'm a Summer fairy. I love the leafy green color I turn the leaves. The hot sun beating down on the grass and the trees….oh, all that green… But I was talking about Autumn fairies, wasn't I? They are obsessed with jewel tones. Their clothes, their hair, even their wings are shades of ruby red, dazzling yellow, flaming orange. A few incorporate brown into the mix, lining their tunics and slippers with brown edging, wearing their hair in shades of chestnut and nutmeg with shiny baubles, that sort of thing. They are the ones that change the leaves from green to red, orange, yellow, brown. If it was up to me, I'd keep them green until the winter, where the fairies dressed in shades of blue race around, icing the trees and calling snow down from the sky. Amber flits past me, and I tumble off the branch, shocked back into the current season. She touches a leaf, shouts, “Seven hundred, Samm!” and races away to another tree, eager to compete with the other Autumn fairies for the most leaves. From looking at the fairies and trees around me, I have no clue if she's winning.
